The following info was recently added, and subsequently wholely removed.
In 1999, Time Magazine named Chaplin one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, [1] and stated; "The endearing figure of his Little Tramp was instantly recognizable around the globe and brought laughter to millions. Still is. Still does". [2]
I think we can do something with it, even if just a quote with a reference. Any ideas?-- Abie the Fish Peddler ( talk) 18:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
The treatment of Chaplin's relationship with communism left me with a feeling that I didn't have anywhere near the whole story. I found a pretty decent source [1] that left me better informed. Perhaps we could improve the coverage of this aspect of Chaplin's life by including some of the information here. TMLutas ( talk) 05:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Considering to change it from :
The United Artists (1919-1939) section states that "Modern Times was the first film where Chaplin's voice is heard (in the nonsense song at the end, being both written and performed by Chaplin)." with the words "nonsense song" linking to Modern Times (film)
Another article Je cherche après Titine states that the song is composed by Léo Daniderff with lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal. However, the nonsense lyrics were probably written by Chaplin.
I suggest changing the sentence in the article as following:
Modern Times was the first film where Chaplin's voice is heard (in the nonsense song at the end, which Chaplin both performed and wrote the nonsense lyrics to).

Not done
I am a fan, and I recognize the significance of Chaplin's contributions to cinema. That being said, this article is full of highly subjective praise that is unfitting for an objective biography. Describing movies or performers as "brilliant," "truly classic," etc. is the expression of opinion. If it was just one or two comments, I'd just correct it myself, but it runs throught the article; major clean-up is required to make this NPOV. Minaker ( talk) 10:15, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

We need to kind of fix this. It's locked so I don't really want to log in just for this, but rather,I want to start a discussion about it. Is source # 46 really reliable, as it is about a collector's item more than the person? Why is he in the agnostics category, when the source just says "he is believed to have been agnostic." That doesn't merit a category entry nor does he ever mention his religious background (if any). The source used doesn't even have the word "agnostic" or anything about his religion in it. The sentence before the "citation needed" tag in the same paragraph needs to have a citation or be taken out. I haven't found one saying that Chaplin said that quote. The paragraph about his attraction to younger women kind of bothers me. While I'm pretty sure it's notable, I don't see a source nor do I see any real reason for it's inclusion, as it's just "floating" there with no sources.

I've been trying to find some of this information about Charlie Chaplin but can't seem to find out when he went to Europe for which he wrote about it in his 1922 book "My Trip Abroad" ('My Wonderful Visit' UK title). He also later went there in the 1930's I think and wrote 'A comedian sees the world', for Woman’s Home Companion in five installments, which was later put into book form a few years ago. I was also wondering if two of his other books 'My Early Years', and 'My Life in Pictures,' are alternate names of "My Autobiography", excerpts from it or actually completely different books. I'd like to see it mentioned in the biography section when he left on these trips, and a bibliography of what books he wrote and which were only written about him. It also looks like his book 'My Trip Abroad' is now in the public domain in the USA having been printed before 1923, Chaplin's 'My Trip Abroad' book at Hathi Trust Digital Library.

"His paternal grandmother's mother was from the Smith family of Romanichals"

Partly done:I have update the company to Roy Export S.A.S., based upon a variety of pages on the website. I took out the part that says "controlled by his estate" because the website (the only
reliable source I can find to work with) does not state that the estate has any authority. They mention the Association Chaplin, composed entirely of family members, but there is no indication that Association actually "controls" anything. As a side note, if you actually are the managing director, I recommend you change
the Association Chaplin page, which still lists Roy Export Company Establishment as the current owner.

Is the middle name "Spencer" an historic, geneological link to the family of John Spencer, Viscount Althorp (later the 8th Earl Spencer) and, more famously, his daughter Diana, the late Princess of Wales? If so, I feel this should be included in the Chaplin biogrgraphy. It is reasonable to think the landed gentry of the Spencer line during the late 19th century would not readily acknowledge music hall entertainers in the family, if indeed, they are related, and twicefold, anyone to declare in public a partial Romani heritage also. I myself simply do not have the skill to make such a determination.

Do you think it makes sense to show Charlie Chaplin as American in several categories if he never became officially an American citizen? I don't think so, but I would like to know more people's opinion on the matter. 82.154.85.202 ( talk) 21:13, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Charlie Chaplin lived in the United States for a long time but he never wanted to become an American citizen. He was often criticized for that and it would be interesting to find any source where he explains why he decided to remain always a British citizen. Since he always was technically speaking a foreigner living in the United States, I don't think he should appear in any American category. Mistico ( talk) 16:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

In the sources it is said that he didn't even make it to the finals. So the correct information should be he did take part in the contest but didn't make it to the finals. Thank you.

There has been one reference to Charlie Chaplin in a rhyme in Montreal (...don't forget to give to Mary/Not to Charlie Chaplin) but most references are in Britain.

Chaplin deserves an excellent article. He was an absolute genius and one of the most important cultural/creative figures in history. He's a fascinating person as well. I have a few books on him and, in time, am planning to really make a go at bringing this page up to, at least, GA status. The page isn't bad right now but it could be sooo much better, I kind of want to give it a complete reworking to be honest. It would be great to make it a collabrative process though so thought I'd start asking - are there any other Chaplin fans out there who would want to get involved in this? What do you think? -- Lobo512 ( talk) 17:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Update: Thought I should comment since I wrote this three weeks ago now and it looks like I've abandoned the project. I still fully intend to do this, but I'm afraid I've been sidetracked by Spencer Tracy. Don't blame him, his page is in even more need of work. I don't know know when I'll get round to Chaps, but I definitely will at...some point. Anyone who'd like to help, get in touch. -- Lobo512 ( talk) 16:48, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Re: "Chaplin wrote or co-wrote the scores and songs for many of his films. "Smile", which he composed for his film, Modern Times, hit number 2 on the UK charts when sung by Nat King Cole in the 1950s"
"Smile" was actually composed by David Raksin, who went on to score Laura. Chaplin did not compose music at all, actually; he merely supervised and guided the composition of movie scores. TheScotch ( talk) 07:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

What do you think? -- Lobo512 ( talk) 17:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Update: Thought I should comment since I wrote this three weeks ago now and it looks like I've abandoned the project. I still fully intend to do this, but I'm afraid I've been sidetracked by Spencer Tracy. Don't blame him, his page is in even more need of work. I don't know know when I'll get round to Chaps, but I definitely will at...some point. Anyone who'd like to help, get in touch. -- Lobo512 ( talk) 16:48, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Re: "Chaplin wrote or co-wrote the scores and songs for many of his films. "Smile", which he composed for his film, Modern Times, hit number 2 on the UK charts when sung by Nat King Cole in the 1950s"
"Smile" was actually composed by David Raksin, who went on to score Laura. Chaplin did not compose music at all, actually; he merely supervised and guided the composition of movie scores. TheScotch ( talk) 07:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
